    Nuova Valiglia spaghetti
    Eric W.

    This is a very nice little restaurant in Venice in the small streets. Food - Their spaghetti with meatballs was great, I loved the al dente texture of the spaghetti Service - Good Parking - Nowhere near as Venice has almost no roads for cars. Water taxis, ferries and walking are the best options Overall, this place is great.

    The Spaguetti Nero and Spaghetti Pomodoro were delicious, the seafood and chicken just ok, the tiramisu was pretty good, but the portion was too small; I'll come back for the Spaghetti and Tiramisu. The service was quick and very friendly. The ambiance was ok but could improve with some background music.

    Great Venetian seafood salad.  The snails and sardines were killer

    Venezia is beautiful and romantic, especially in late Fall and Winter, when tourists have gone and locals are more friendly and hospitable. Venice is not known to be a culinary destination in Italy, so outside of the typical touristy pizza and spaghetti joints, the neighborhood restaurants offer standard Venetian fare: various seafood plates, local fish mostly smaller varieties like sardines, anchovy, so if you're a pescatarian, Venice is gonna be fun eating foray. Our search for a good restaurant, because one of my faves was closed during winter, brought us here. Venetian food almost always starts with a seafood plate or salad, parboiled and served with olive oil and vinegar and local fish, well some Norwegian varieties too. https://www.greatitalianchefs.com/features/fish-varieties-venice Then the main courses consist of more seafood (catch of the day) or local game, pastas (bigoli in anchovy, or squid ink) and other plates mostly relatable as Italian but not as distinctive. Cicchetti (tapas) are pretty good and plentiful however, and this is what is fun to eat in Venice as most bars will offer a variety of cicchetti of some sort, and they go nicely with a glass or 3 of local wines. Except for the fegato alla Venezia (calf's liver...another Venetian staple that can be found in most restaurants), there's not much thats non-seafood on plates here. Our visit in winter which afforded us a good variety of fresh shellfish (clams, mussels, shrimp, langostini) were tasty and sweet. Service was very good. The food? Standard. I would say what stood out the most was the risotto, perfectly made with saffron and wine highlighting the seafood. We fought for it. It was a good experience for Venetian food and the price? Cheap for Venice. Tip: Unless you have kids with you, stay away from the tourist offerings like pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, as these are not local specialties and are cranked out by a cook to add revenue to the restaurant.

    Carbonara

    Alfredo, Carbonara, squid ink spaghetti with cuttlefish all taste very good. We also ordered tiramisu and pizza Margherita take away for later. Worth to try if your staying near by.

    Lobster pasta

    Wonderful ambiance. House wine is delicious and inexpensive. Great service staff. The calamari fritti was perfect--tender, but lightly breaded and crispy. The lobster pasta was molto delizioso and pasta was perfect al dente. The tiramisu was delightful but not cloying sweet. Bathrooms and environment was clean. 10/10 would recommend. Seems like all the negative reviews are tourists

    There's at least 4 ways for a Tourist to find a place for Lunch in Venice: 1. Pick up a Tour Book of your choice and take one of their recommendations. 2. Do the same thing on TripAdvisor, Gogobot, Yelp, or another review site. 3. Find the most crowded and touristy place available, get in the line and enjoy! 4.. Wander around off the beaten track, pick a place, and just sit down. Eric, Gayle, Jim, and I picked Option 4 most of the time and Nuova Valiglia was a Sunday Lunch choice after a long and fascinating tour of the Doge's Palace. We sat outside and enjoyed a reasonably tasty, yet mostly forgettable meal. OK, I remember pizza, beer, a decent Tourist menu, reasonable service, and walking over to a back canal and watching the gondola traffic while we waited.

    This was close to our hotel, Rosa Salva, and the service was quite attentive. We had a light polenta starter, with a kind of creamed fish dip, and I really enjoyed my squid ink pasta. Very flavorful. I guess the only off putting thing about dinner was our seating location: we were seated outside, where there were tables lined along the restaurant building, so twice during dinner, we heard a man (the same man both times) sing in Italian while he was . . . ah, on the toilet. Thankfully we couldn't hear the happenings, but it was confirmed by the toilet flushing both times post-Pavarotti. Some may be offended, others may find it charming. I think it's a situation where one shrugs their shoulders to indicate: "eh, welcome to Italy!"

    I was a little underwhelmed. This is prime tourist areas with price text to match and I would expect that the quality of the food would reflect the price is being charged. I didn't particularly care for the texture of the gnocchi - it was overcooked and chewy. The pasta was dried out a little too much. All in all it was OK

    Kids were hungry and needed a quick lunch. Stopped here out of convenience since they had a lot of open tables. I thought the service was good. Attentive and spoke English. There was occasionally a bad smell outside (which is not uncommon in Venice in the summer). I did not eat but the kids got spaghetti & meatballs and fish & chips. My wife got the spaghetti bolognese. Food came out in less than 10 minutes which is a concern anywhere, especially in Italy! The fish and chips were good. Fries were good and my son really like the fried fish. The spaghetti and meatballs were disappointing. I agree with the review that said this food is not homemade...meatballs taste like they were frozen and heated in the microwave. The spaghetti bolognese was fine. Good and edible but nothing to write home about. All in all this is a fine pitstop if you're looking for a quick, convenient bite to eat, but definitely pass if you are looking for quality and value.

    I cant even believe the bad reviews.. This place was excellent. I had the seafood pasta and my husband had ham pizza both dishes were DELICIOUS. Also the house wine white was great too ($6 eur only :)The restaurant is located in a corner so it has romantic outdoor seating..

Upon arrival, the owner was sitting at a table drinking wine. There weren't any people dining, so we were the only ones. The servers and cooks were very attentive. We were immediately greeted and seated while our drink requests were taken. We always choose still water. Today, we decided to try a wine tasting, which included a blend of whites of reds from the region. The waiter explained in detail the type of wine, where it is made, what type of grapes it is made with, and the year it was made. All of the wines were very delicious. Italy takes great pride in their wines and rightfully so. We requested bruschetta and presciutto. We were given fresh, warm bread, which we mixed with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. The bread was amazing. It had a soft, warm inside and a crunchy outside. Isn't that they way bread should be served? The bruschetta was delicious as was the presciutto. The food, wine, and service were superb. We vowed that we would return for dinner, but alas, we didn't make time to do so. This is a great restaurant!

Location is very nice, right at a pretty trendy canal, filled with lots of restaurants and bars. Right next to is an excellent gelato place. It's quite small inside with few tables, many just hang around outside - and why not, the location at the canale is a pretty spot. We did manage though to get some seats inside. Our Bulldog was very welcome here as well. The various cicchetti are presented at the counter. There are some classics of course, but also some very innovative creations. We went for the latter. There was gorgonzola with strawberry, radicchio with brie cheese, pesto topped with an anchovie and mushrooms, mashed fava beans with pulp and mashed fava with goats cheese and a cherry. All really wonderful combinations. Our favorite were the radicchio and the fava/goat cheese. Surely something to recreate back home. Staff was very friendly, we felt very welcome here. And instead of focussing on Aperol, Select and Prosecco, it's mostly about white and red wine here. And they have an excellent selection of wine. Not all cheap, but definitely worth the money. We especially loved the Pinot Nero "Terre di Giotto". A brillant cicchetti bar. Definitely a place we come back to next time in Venice.

One downside is how small the space is. Completely packed most of the time with only a few outdoor tables for seatings so be prepared to stand and eat.
